That total put Wiles in third place with 27.49% of the vote. He
was slightly less than 200 votes behind number two finisher
Dempsey Brewer. All of the voters in this primary would have been
registered Republicans.

Wiles' total seems noteworthy considering the late reports about
his past and the fact he was running in a state senate district
described by Daily Kos Elections in 2011 as "heavily
Republican." In 2008, John McCain beat President Barack Obama
there by over 20 points.
